Arch Bridge Garabit Viaduct: Revolution in Bridge Construction | Génie Français - Megabridges Ep.3

Does this Arch Bridge also remind you of the Eiffel Tower? This is not a coincidence, because Gustave Eiffel constructed this Arch Bridge called Garabit viaduct.

Garabit viaduct is an Arch Bridge in France that revolutionized the world of construction. This Arch Bridge is 564 meters long, 122 meters high and built with over 3000 tons of iron. It has served railroad traffic since its opening in 1885. At the time of its construction, it was the highest Arch Bridge in the world, and its construction had to take into account the wind and temperature variations of the altitude.

How it could be built in a large cleft and what problems it has today, you will see in this documentary.
